Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 79% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal diseas

e, an inflammation of the gums. Only 33% of healthy people (those who have not had heart attacks) have this disease. Suppose that in a certain community heart attacks are quite rare, occurring with only 15% probability.
A. If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack?
B. If 38% of the people in a community will have a heart attack, what is the probability that a person with periodontal disease will have a heart attack?

Answer:

(A) 0.297

(B) 0.595

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

H = a person who suffered from a heart attack

G = a person has the periodontal disease.

Given:

P (G|H) = 0.79, P(G|H') = 0.33 and P (H) = 0.15

Compute the probability that a person has the periodontal disease as follows:

P(G)=P(G|H)P(H)+P(G|H')P(H')\\=P(G|H)P(H)+P(G|H')(1-P(H))\\=(0.79\times0.15)+(0.33\times(1-0.15))\\=0.399

(A)

The probability that a person had periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack is:

P(H|G)=\frac{P(G|H)P(H)}{P(G)}\\=\frac{0.79\times0.15}{0.399} \\=0.29699\\\approx0.297

Thus, the probability that a person had periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack is 0.297.

(B)

Now if the probability of a person having a heart attack is, P (H) = 0.38.

Compute the probability that a person has the periodontal disease as follows:

P(G)=P(G|H)P(H)+P(G|H')P(H')\\=P(G|H)P(H)+P(G|H')(1-P(H))\\=(0.79\times0.38)+(0.33\times(1-0.38))\\=0.5048

Compute the probability of a person having a heart attack given that he or she has the disease:

P(H|G)=\frac{P(G|H)P(H)}{P(G)}\\=\frac{0.79\times0.38}{0.5048}\\ =0.59469\\\approx0.595

The probability of a person having a heart attack given that he or she has the disease is 0.595.

Taseem’s loose change consists of dimes and quarters. When you ask her how many of each type of coin she has, she gives you the
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The statement first, and the statement second are correct because the number of dimes is 34, and the number of quarters is 66

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

0.1x + 0.25y = 19.9 and

x + y = 100

Let x = number of dimes

y = number of quarters

After solving the above system of equations by substitution method.

\rm \dfrac{398-5y}{2}+y=100

y = 66

\rm x=\dfrac{398-5\cdot \:66}{2}

x = 34

Thus, the statement first, and the statement second are correct because the number of dimes is 34, and the number of quarters is 66

Members of a softball team raised $1513.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $961.50 and budgeted $46 per player for
aniked [119]

Answer: 1513.50=961.50+46x

The number of players the team can bring to the tournament = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Total money raised = Rent of bus + (Cost per player) (Number of players)

1513.50=961.50+46x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 46x=1513.50-961.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 46x =  552\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{552}{46}\\\\\Rightarrow x=12

Hence, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament = 12.
